Whitworth University Pre-Professional Health Studies

Whitworth provides a strong foundation for students preparing
for careers in the health professions. Dedicated professors offer interdisciplinary,
hands-on training in all science fields, while Whitworth's strong liberal-arts curriculum provides students the broad knowledge base, critical-thinking
and communication skills, and multicultural literacy to succeed in today's
rapidly changing world. The science departments have recently received
several significant grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA
and the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trusts, allowing students to be involved
in leading-edge research using state-of-the-art equipment
ranging from sophisticated computers to research-grade infrared spectrophotometers
and enzyme analyzers. These advantages have enabled Whitworth students
to enroll in top medical, dental and graduate schools around the country
and to pursue successful careers in the health professions.
